Ah, good idea, Dr. Suess teaching nuclear missile policies.:rolleyes:

The book is good though, and does convey a good message.

come on, the guy's not SATAN. he enjoyed the book and wanted to make it known. we might find his stance on roller coasters to be ignorantly insipid and mind-numbingly misinformed, but it doesn't make him evil. i found his comment somewhat (dare i say it) clever.

This is the first time I ever heard of a congress person commenting on a Doctor Suess book. :confused: Strange.

That's easily the smartest thing he's ever said, how do I know? It's actually a smart comment.

Actually, I think he is talking about a TA2K because I remember one of the original Thrillride reviews of the Thrust Air about it looking like if Dr. Seuss became a coaster designer, took some hallucinogens, and developed a mean streak. :D
